Jourdan Sloane Childress is a fashion creator and entrepreneur who has been in the influencer space since before it was a legitimate career path, building her audience from a fashion design internship and a blog into a lasting online business. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about how content creation has transformed from highly produced editorial shoots to fast, authentic hooks, why she believes quantity now matters more than quality for anyone starting out today, and how she stopped needing external validation once she found it in her relationships and her own confidence. They also discuss meeting her husband Wells on Raya and what made her know he was serious, the importance of not internalizing rejection or comparison in this industry, and her honest take on personal style, trends, and New York City favorites.
